Caring for your Christopher Ward quartz watch

Your Encore watch is constructed from the finest components and materials available including one

of Switzerland’s finest quartz movements.

As with all watches of this quality, with just a little care, it has the potential to become an heirloom

piece giving further joy to future generations.

Here are a few hints to help keep your watch working perfectly over the years:

• Althoughthebatteryinyourwatchmaylastlonger,werecommendyouhaveitchangedevery

2/3 years by a reputable watch repairer.

and lubricate your watch as necessary.

• Makesurethecrownisscreweddownfullybeforeputtingthewatchintowater.Adhereto

the water resistance ratings towards the end of the handbook to prevent water getting to the

movement which could result in a very costly repair or the need for a replacement movement.

• Yourwatchisshockresistanttominorimpactsbutdroppingfromheightontoahardsurface

Should you need a replacement part - don’t worry, we keep stocks of spare parts for years, even for

Fitting the bracelet

If you find the bracelet needs adjusting to your wrist we recommend you have it re-sized by a

reputablewatchrepairerorjeweller.Mostlocaljewellerswilleitherdothisforfreeorperhapsmake

a nominal charge for what is a job that should only take a few minutes. It is always best to be

present so a comfortable fit is achieved.

Establishing the length of the bracelet

Place the watch with its separated bracelet on your wrist and estimate the number of links you need

to remove. If you need to remove several links, try to keep the numbers removed from both halves

of the bracelet as equal as possible to ensure that the clasp remains roughly in the middle of your wrist.

Water resistance

Please note. these are only guidelines

but we strongly urge you to adhere

to them to retain the integrity of

your watch. If you have any queries

regarding this please contact us

direct.

NB. To safeguard watch movement

please ensure the crown is, at all times,

screwed in correctly.

Christopher Ward Diamonds

As you might expect, the Christopher Ward approach to diamond watches is as individual as the

watchesthemselves.Morerecentlythequalitycriteriahasbecomemoredemanding,newcutting

methods have been developed and with the advent of a new scientific dimension, the need has

arisen for independent gemological reports for diamond stone. With this in mind Christopher

Ward diamonds are tested by the IGI and the subsequent reports and certificates which use the

4C international grading system are displayed on www.christopherward.co.uk.

The 4C's Certificate of Authenticity

All diamonds are independently tested by the International Gemological Institute (IGI) who

provide us with a certificate authenticating the carat, colour, cut and clarity of the diamonds.

These elements are often referred to as the '4Cs' and are the critical characteristics determining a

diamond’s quality and value. All diamonds are most definitely not the same and at CW we only use

diamond quality levels associated with high end luxury watch brands.

Further information about the diamond grading system and other fascinating diamond facts can be

found on the IGI website www.igiworldwide.com.

The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS)

This scheme was established in 2003 and is designed to certify the origin of diamond sources which

are free of conflict. The aim is to prevent rebel groups and their rivals from funding their war aims

from diamond sales.

The certification scheme is targeted at preventing 'blood diamonds' from entering

the mainstream rough diamond market. The KPCS originated from a meeting of Southern African

diamond producing states in Kimberely, South Africa in 2002.

In order for a country to be a participant it must ensure:

That every diamond export be accompanied by a certificate

That no diamond is imported from, or to, a non-member of the scheme

That any diamond originating from the country does not finance a rebel or other entity

seeking to overthrow a UN recognised government

All Christopher Ward diamonds (which are from South Africa) are Kimberley Certified and each

invoice is marked accordingly with the KPCS guarantee.

Keeping in touch with Christopher Ward...

From small beginnings just a few short years ago (our first workshop was actually a refurbished

chicken shed!), Christopher Ward has won a worldwide following for his eponymous watch brand

and can justifiably claim to manufacture the most affordable luxury watches in the world.

For many, the philosophy behind the brand, trying to put luxury watches within the reach of

everyone, is as attractive as the watches themselves as is the very open approach of the business

which means that Chris and the team spend a lot of time communicating personally with our

customers - many of whom have become friends.

As the owner of a Christopher Ward watch, if ever you need to get hold of us we are at your service.

We have listed some useful contact details on the back cover.

There is also always something new going on at our website at www.christopherward.co.uk

and, if you haven’t already discovered the independent forum dedicated to our brand at

www.christopherwardforum.com we would recommend a visit. Informative and fun, it’s a great

place to hear the unexpurgated view of Christopher Ward of London!
